Editorial Review for Carter Hotel – by Gayot.com
The Scene
Located a half block from Times Square, this hotel is unassuming at first glance. Don't judge it from its benign exterior though. Instead, check out the lobby. Purple neon lights illuminate the entry area, and Indian and Japanese art grace the walls, giving it a Las-Vegas-casino-meets-Asian-brothel feel. It doesn't help that the front desk clerks are sectioned off behind a thick glass window. A gazillion TVs erratically flash images.
The Details
There are no special services here, the woman who works the front desk likes to say. "We have the best rooms at the best prices at the best location." She's not far off base on the latter two points. The rates are cheap, and the setting is smack in the center of things. As for the rooms, they're clean and basic--they come with beds.

Truly a real dump! Not chic or campy, no...the Carter is a five star world-class dump. Greeted by a inattentive staff with well-developed rudeness and the stay went downhill from there. Room was wall to wall mattress in the hotel's ruse to label the room a double. Decorated with dated carpet squares on the wall the place is bizarre! Our bathroom is hard to rate. I've been in cleaner public facilities in Tiajuana 40 yrs ago. Given a street side room. Ugh, Noisy!! (43rd Ave on a Friday night simply doesn't quite down). Again, this hole is $150.00 a night! Proof in New York that one doesn't need to see a gun to get robbed. Avoid. Sleep in the subway or join the homeless fellow on the sidewalk just outside the Carter. On second thought, he may not be homeless at all but only prefers sleeping outside for free instead of getting fooled into staying inside at the Carter!

I couldn't save myself and my family from going, but I can save you from being Carterīs victim! Please don't let them mislead you with the great location and quite decent pictures in their Website: they take advantage because that way you are not able to smell the terrible smell in those creepy corridors, sleep in those dirty rooms where you run into other guests such FLEAS ETC, or to deal with its unfriendly personnel. Beware of burglary!!! Since ALL employees have access to your room, the one that steals your belongings can't be identified, as it happened to us! Hotel security is just for decoration purposes, and the police couldnīt identify the person who entered in our room and pick up things that never appeared (a value of $ 2000 WAS STOLLEN from our bags) his/her fingerprints because the room is so messy and dirty that a million fingerprints can be found there. The police literally told us when we desperately called them to report the burglary that this was not the first time something like that happened in that hotel... If you didn't get it clear, this is the bottomline: Carter hotel is a complete rip off.
